"There is only one group of Japanese ambush." The matter was so serious that Guo Da had to treat it with caution. He personally talked to Yun Yi to confirm the enemy's situation.
"yes."
"Do you want to have sex, little devil?"
"A mortar round was fired."
"Give the phone to the chief of staff,."
"Master's seat,."
"Lao Xu, send a reconnaissance company out, and ask them to leave one after ten kilometers to report the situation every one kilometer, and the large force will continue to move forward."
"yes."
The roar of the motor grew louder again, and the convoy slowly started, quickly returning to its original speed.
The vehicle suddenly stopped moving. In the mountain division's headquarters command vehicle, Huang Haifu picked up the walkie-talkie and asked Chief of Staff Guo Muyi in front about the situation.
Guo Muyi was the Kuomintang colonel who tried to persuade the Thirteen Taibao to surrender to the central government on Bawang Mountain. Guo Muyi was originally named Guo Da. After being convinced by Ouyang Yun and joining the Xuebing Army, in order to distinguish him from Guo Da, the commander of the First Xuexi Division, he The name was changed to Muyi to express admiration for the Tang Dynasty veteran Guo Ziyi.
Guo Muyi was also confused about this matter at this time. After receiving Huang Haifu's inquiry, she called Gong Caiqiang, the deputy commander of the first learning division in charge of the rear team, and asked what happened in front.
Gong Caiqiang didn't know it. He grabbed the phone and was about to ask to talk to Guo Da. Guo Muyi's voice rang out again. It turned out that Huang Haifu had just finished talking to Guo Muyi on the phone, and Guo Da called him and told him the whole story. After informing him of his decision, Huang Haifu relayed the information to Guo Muyi, who in turn told Gong Caiqiang. Only then did the latter learn that the division's leading reconnaissance soldiers were ambushed by a large Japanese army. The troops set out again. At this time, finally Guo Da was free and had time to contact Gong Caiqiang. When he learned that Gong Caiqiang was aware of the matter, he stopped talking nonsense and contacted Huang Haifu again. The two division commanders began to discuss countermeasures.
Huang Haifu agreed with his decision to continue the march, but at the same time he was a little worried. After these three days, the number of Japanese troops in Linyi would increase. Also, the Japs actually set up an ambush in Xiaocang Village. Could there be a traitor in the fifth theater?
Guo Da thought it was unlikely. He analyzed: "I think it was a coincidence. Otherwise, the little devils should have sent out sentries from a distance. After discovering our small reconnaissance force, they did not choose to encircle and annihilate them but directly let them go to paralyze them." Our army is waiting to ambush my large force."
"But why did the little devil set up an ambush in Xiaocang Village? This intention to get things right is really confusing."
"It's very strange, but it doesn't matter. I have asked Chief of Staff Xu to release all the scouts. Even if the enemy situation in Linyi really changes, we can evacuate in time."
"Okay, I listen to you."
On the avenue outside Kokura Village, Hashimoto Masao and Lieutenant Colonel Hashimoto stared eagerly at the intersection in the northeast direction. After a dazzling light, dozens of trucks stopped, and then, Lieutenant Colonel Masao Hashimoto was surrounded by more than a dozen Japanese officials. After walking over, Hashimoto Masao hurried forward to greet him and happily reported the good news just now. The content of this exercise had actually come to an end by this time. Hashimoto Shun originally wanted to inspect the Hashimoto brigade that had set up an ambush, so he After organizing the team to fight back, he heard that Hashimoto's battalion had just fought a beautiful ambush and eliminated fourteen Chinese people, with only one escaping. He was startled at first, then became displeased and became angry. He stepped forward and rewarded I gave Boss Hashimoto a slap in the face,
There was a crisp sound of "pop", which shocked all the little devils.
Ban Ben glared at Hashimoto who was dumbfounded. He didn't care about scolding him and immediately sent people to search ahead. He paid special attention to search at least five kilometers away. Then, he shouted to Hashimoto: "China people Where is his body? Take me to see it."
Fourteen soldiers in camouflage uniforms lay on the ground stained red with their blood. The death of each of them was extremely miserable, which shows the fierce resistance at that time. Among them, three of them had mutilated limbs, which were caused by shelling or The situation reported by Hashimoto, who fired the grenade and died together with the Japs, concealed a little bit. These fourteen Chinese were exchanged for twenty-seven imperial officers and soldiers.
Banshun checked a few more seized motorcycles, and his face became even more ugly: "It's the Xuebing Army. Only the Xuebing Army in the Chinese army has so many motorcycles. It's obvious that they are responsible for reconnaissance of the enemy." , Bagegaru, Lieutenant Colonel Hashimoto, don’t you have any brains? Now that you have taken action, you can’t let any of them escape. A brigade ambushed fifteen Chinese people, but they can’t even complete the task, , Bage.”
Masao Hashimoto stood up straight, lowered his head and said: "Hai."
Komatsu Junyi, the captain of another brigade, asked: "Your Excellency, brigade commander, the intentions of the Chinese are very doubtful. They should be a reconnaissance team. Could it be said that the Chinese want to attack Linyi at night? What should we do now?"
Banbenshun took two steps with a gloomy face and said through gritted teeth: "The whole army is ready for battle and waiting for news from the search team. Captain Araki, please send a message back to Linyi immediately and ask Colonel Aoki to assemble the team and prepare for the attack."
"Hai."
With Qiu Junpai's lesson learned, Wang Yanong became extra cautious. When he was still seven kilometers away from Xiaocang Village, he left two people on guard in case of any eventuality. Then he turned off the headlights and only relied on the weak light from the fog lights. Guangming advanced slowly and drove for a few kilometers. He handed over the motorcycle to Hu Min, and he took a micro flashlight and opened a path on foot about 50 meters away from the convoy. Wang Yanong's caution made him the first to discover it. Searching for the advancing Japanese team from Ogura Village, he then used a micro flashlight to send back a signal. Hu Min and the others immediately turned off the engine and pushed the motorcycle into the nearby bushes. The farmland was hidden. The night was so strange today that it was almost impossible to see. Five fingers, in this environment, the little devils who were always suspicious became timid and moved very slowly, which gave Wang Yanong and the others sufficient time to respond.
Wang Yanong ran back to Hu Min and the others, sent two men to run back to convey the enemy's situation, and left two people to stay in place to observe the enemy's situation. Then he led Hu Min and three other soldiers to bypass the road and groping forward in the direction of Xiaocang Village.
The little devil was a rigid person, so he ordered them to search five kilometers forward. They estimated the time and drove a dozen three-wheeled motorcycles forward slowly for about 20 minutes. They found no enemy, so they returned.
At this time, Cui Yongqiang, the deputy battalion commander of the 1st Xue Division Reconnaissance Battalion, who was working as an outpost, had already met with the two soldiers Wang Yanong left behind first. A few minutes later, they met the other two soldiers who ran back to deliver information.
After listening to the reports of the two soldiers, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Ge Zengfu, immediately gave them a two-wheeled motorcycle and asked them to immediately turn back to meet the main force and personally report the enemy situation to Chief of Staff Xu, leaving a platoon of soldiers behind. Guard the motor vehicle, lead the others to abandon the movement, and run towards Xiaocang Village.
Ban Benshun returned to the search team and learned that there were no enemies within five kilometers of Xiaocang Village. After some deliberation, he finally decided not to take a unnecessary risk. He left a small group of Japs to guard Xiaocang Village and led the large force back. Linyi,
More than two thousand Japanese soldiers poured into the vehicles of their respective units from their respective fronts, making noisy noises that immediately attracted the attention of Wang Yanong and others.
After Benshun got into his thin-iron armored vehicle, Wang Yanong and others followed the sound of the motor and came over.
In order to avoid the disaster of war, the people of Xiaocang Village left nine out of every ten households without any lights in the village. The Japs were obviously aware of this situation and did not enter the village to search and cause nuisance. About a hundred military trucks were lined up on the road. When the car started, the headlights on the car came on. Wang Yanong quickly scanned the car. After calculating it, he couldn't help but secretly feel shocked. These are not the more than a thousand Japs that Yun Yi said, at least two thousand. Fortunately, fortunately, we detected it in advance, otherwise the situation would be disastrous. Yu,
More than a hundred trucks carrying more than two thousand Japs drove away slowly. Compared with the speed of the Japs' trucks, there was a big gap between the speed of the Japs' trucks and the speed of the Japs' trucks. Plus, it was dark and the Japs' headlights were not bright enough. Okay, that's why it was so slow. After about ten minutes, the Japanese army completely left the village. Suddenly, there was only a lone truck and a few two-wheeled and three-wheeled motorcycles left in the originally crowded village entrance.
Under the command of the squad leader Yu Zhiyilang, a squad of Japanese soldiers who stayed on alert first drove trucks and motorcycles into the largest courtyard at the head of the village. They then sent out overt and covert sentries under Wang Yanong's nose, and then lit the fire. bonfire, took out canned food and started enjoying supper,
Hu Min lay down next to Wang Yanong and whispered: "Platoon leader, let's go up and touch the little Japs' sentries, and kill these Japs in one fell swoop."
Wang Yanong had his own ideas. He said softly: "It's not possible now. Zhou Tai, you and Zhang Wa follow the army of little devils and try to figure out their true intentions. Remember, if the little devils behave abnormally, you will immediately Come back and report, if it's too late, it doesn't matter if you fire a warning shot."
Zhou Tai was the squad leader of the second class. He responded, and he and Zhang Wa ran out of the hiding place and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
After watching Zhou and Zhang leave, Wang Yanong asked Hu Min to stay and continue to monitor, and then he returned to the main road and ran towards the city.
In less than ten minutes, he and Cui Yongqiang met face to face. They were about fifteen meters apart. The two of them almost shouted at the same time: "The password." The next moment, Wang Yanong tentatively asked: "It's Battalion Commander Cui."
"Wang Yanong."
"It's me."
At this point, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
A large group of people from the reconnaissance battalion came up. Ge Zengfu learned the latest developments of the Japanese army and learned that the Japs were evacuating very slowly. He immediately realized that this was a rare opportunity. He first ordered Cui Yongqiang to lead a company of soldiers to capture the remaining Xiaocang Village. The Japanese then picked up the military microphone and reported the situation directly to Guo Da. The distance between Guo Da and Ge Zengfu was now more than 13 kilometers, and the best communication distance of the walkie-talkies they used was 12 kilometers, so the two The quality of his personal call was affected, which made Guo Da fail to hear some of his words at first. The reason why Ge Zengfu chose to report the situation directly to Guo Da was to gain time. When he saw this, he simply ignored the enemy situation report and directly He made a request: "Master, please immediately order the entire army to advance at the fastest speed." He shouted several times, and then Guo Da understood that Guo Da was also courageous. He immediately ordered the entire army to advance at the fastest speed, and Notified the mountain division who was closely following the 1st Xueyi Division, and then resumed the call with Ge Zengfu and asked about the specific situation.
The previous ambush of the reconnaissance platoon left a shadow in everyone's mind. Since Xue Yi Shi can use the night to launch a surprise attack, then the Japs can also use the night to carry out an ambush. The sacrifice of fourteen elite soldiers allowed Xue Yi Shi to follow Everyone felt angry and regretful, but considering the overall situation, people like Guo Da and Ge Zengfu, apart from being angry and sad, felt sincerely grateful. Fortunately, it was only one platoon. What if there were two divisions? Ge Zengfu had just After learning this information from Yun Yun, he was puzzled: If the Japs intended to ambush our army, how could they give up the big white goose behind them for a little sparrow? Was it because Qiu Jun and the others discovered the Japs' traces, or was it because they had discovered the Japs' traces? For other reasons, could this be a coincidence?
The behavior of the Japanese army is indeed weird. They successfully launched a small ambush and then evacuated. Moreover, the Japanese soldiers who stayed in Xiaocang Village behaved very casually and did not have the awareness to face a formidable enemy. Based on these circumstances, Ge Zengfu concluded that the Japanese army did not know the intentions and whereabouts of our army, so he went out of his way and made command-style suggestions beyond his authority.
Ge Zengfu's analysis was very objective. Guo Da thought about it and chose to believe his judgment. While he ordered the troops to pursue at full speed, he readjusted the order of the troops. When the troops passed through Xiaocang Village one after another, the tank regiment had been adjusted to the entire troop. At the front, the reconnaissance battalion rushed forward aggressively,
The two Japanese brigades that were brought out of Linyi by chance were destroyed first. The Japanese team that stayed behind in Xiaocang Village was the first to be destroyed. Of the thirty-seven Japanese, four were directly wiped out and the rest were all shot to death by crossbows. Among them, Yu Zhiyilang was hit by more than ten arrows and turned into a hornet's nest.
The tank unit of the 1st Xuexi Division was personally commanded by Wu Kezui, commander of the 3rd Xuexi Brigade. Half an hour later, they encountered Zhang Wa, who was following the Japanese army on Wang Yanong's orders.
Zhou Tai and Zhang Wa adopted a relay tracking method. One person kept a proper distance and fell behind the Little Japanese convoy, while the other person lagged behind a few hundred meters and changed positions every ten minutes. This tracking method was invented by Guo Biao. The advantage is that it can prevent our pursuing troops from being discovered by the enemy prematurely.
At this time, it was Zhang Wa's turn to lag behind. When he heard the rumbling roar of the motor, he knew that his team was catching up. Regardless of the danger, he stood in the middle of the road and waved his hands vigorously.
The ideal state of the relay tracking method is to be executed by a small team. There are only two people, Zhou Tai and Zhang Wa, which requires them to keep running forward and backward, which consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, although the speed of the Japanese team is limited, Zhou Tai and Zhang Wa can still The whole body was soaked with sweat from running. Under the bright tank headlights, Zhang Wa's camouflage uniform was particularly eye-catching. Ge Zengfu, who was sitting on the first tank, immediately asked the tank to slow down, then he jumped off and ran towards Zhang Wa. , while asking: "Erwazi, where are the enemies? Have you lost track of us?"
Zhang Wa was very excited. He made a "bang" sound, stood up with his feet together and saluted and said: "Report to the camp, the little devil is in front, at most one mile away from us, and squad leader Zhou is following him."
"Okay." Ge Zengfu patted him hard on the shoulder, and then walked towards the third tank and shouted: "Everyone from the reconnaissance camp, come down and stand on the roadside."
Wu Kezui's command vehicle was the third tank. At this time, he had opened the top cover and poked out his upper body. He asked Ge Zengfu: "What's the situation?"
The battle was about to begin, and Ge Zengfu was also a little excited. He said: "The Japanese are only one mile away from us. Should we rush forward immediately, or should we ask the master for instructions first?"
"Don't worry." Wu Kezui said, picked up the telescope and looked forward, and saw the dazzling lights. He gritted his teeth and said, "Follow me first. I'll ask the teacher for instructions. You can inform the artillery regiment behind. situation and prepare them for battle."
"yes."
Wu Kezui got into the tank and was about to contact Guo Da to ask him for instructions on the battle plan when a shout came from outside: "Commander Wu, the division commander is here."
Guo Da's armored vehicles crossed all the way and had already reached the front line of the troops.
Seeing the tank troops slowing down, he happened to see Ge Zengfu and ordered the driver to cut through the wheat field next to him, stop directly next to Ge Zengfu, push open the transom above his head, stand up and ask: "Battle Commander Ge, why do you slow down?" Already."
"Master, we are about one mile away from the little Jaap. Brigadier Wu is about to ask you for instructions on how to fight."
When Wu Kezui heard the call from his men, he got out of the tank again. He shouted loudly to Guo Da: "Master, please give the order. This time, we are going to smash the little Japanese's ass from behind."
Guo Da picked up the telescope and looked forward first. Then he let out a sigh of relief, put down the telescope and looked at Wu Kezui and said slowly: "The little devil walks very slowly." He thought to himself, is it possible? This is the little Japs' strategy to lure the enemy. After all, we don't know anything about the situation nearby. No matter what, there are more than two thousand Japs. If the artillery regiment blasts in front and the tank regiment rushes behind, the Japs formation will undoubtedly be in chaos. What happens next? It was time to chase the rabbit. He looked at his watch and saw that it was already 11:08 in the evening. Suddenly his voice rose and he said loudly: "Wu Kecui, please correct the time. It is now 11:08. I Order, your troops launch an attack on time at 11:15, remember to carry out sufficient artillery bombardment first before launching a charge, Ge Zengfu, your reconnaissance battalion follows the tank regiment from both sides of the road, be careful to protect its two wings." Then he picked up the walkie-talkie. , directly called Chen Monk, the leader of the self-propelled artillery regiment, and asked him to be ready to fire within five minutes, and to launch the artillery bombardment on time at 11:15, covering an area of five kilometers to three kilometers directly ahead, and to give the artillery regiment complete instructions. After receiving the order, he communicated with Huang Haifu, informed him of the battle plan of the First Xueyi Division, and asked him to prepare for the entire army to attack. He specifically mentioned that the convoy might need to detour through the wheat fields.
